Theocracy is not the right term, else Israel would be ruled by rabbis. It's a nation-state with a democratric form of government. They remind me of the ancient Athenians with every citizen a soldier/sailor.

Yeah. It's charming if you're Jewish. It sucks if you're not. I guess it depends on your definition of "democracy." If you mean democracy for Jewish people, then yes, Israel is a democracy.
